 The mines in Arizona and New Mexico are beng worked more this year than they have for years past. The reason of this Is the numerous sales that have been made in the last few months. Good mining properties can now insure ready purchasers. Work your properties boys. shake the ground up with your giant and fnse, and you will come ont first best yet.-Star.
 Fl W. Dorsey has been offered S100,000 for his gold mine above Clifton. This strike was reported in tho Sentinel in November last, and the development work done on the mine since that time fully bears out the statement made then. The vein is seven feet in width. and enough work has been done 10 show that there is an immense body of ore which runs we'll in gold. Dorsey has a good property and knows too much about mines 10 sell for less than he can take out of the mines in q few weeks. Southwest Sentenei.
 The name of the city of Tomb stone, Arizona, gives great promise of loosing its significance of the last three years. \ great deal of mining is now going on in and about that camp. The Grand Central, Contention and Tough nut. three of the principal mines of that section, will sink a consoli- dated shaft to drain all the prop orty. and will resume operations. The mines will not pay to work as they now are, but experiments in Contention have demonstrated the fact that large and rich ore bodies gre to be found below the water level. That the pumps that were burned down some time ago, and were a loss of S500,G00, are to be replaced is an evidence that the managers have faith in tue exist once of pay ore at depth not yet attained in the old workings. Tombstone has been good pro ducer, and we nope to see her again ranking as one of the first camps of the coast-as of yore.-AIining Review.
 Pinal county leads in the pro- duction of both gold and silver bullion and in dividend paying properties in Arizona at present, md bids fair to double her record before the end of the year. In silver, the Silver King is yielding its stockholders S25.0OO per month m dividends, while the Vekol brings its owners about the same amount lu net profits, and the Jessie Benton follows with about SS,000 net profits per month. In gold the Mammoth mill nets about 5000 per month. the Southern Belle mill like amount, making Il grand total of S64,O0O net profit per month. This Is exclusive of the ore shipped by chloriders. The latter may be safely estimated at S2,000. This would swell the net profit of mining in Pinal county at present ts S66,000 per month. showing that speaks remarkably well for the mineral resources of Final county. and any one of her sister counties may well envy her. The King company are preparing 10 largely increase their reduction facilities, and if water should be encountered in the well now sink ing at the Vekol, the mill at that mine will be double iu capacity. Tae Mammoth will soon add 70 stamps to their mill, and the Jessie Benton company contemplates an enlargement of their mill facilities. The new mill of the Reymert com pany will soon be contemplated and started, and will turn out from S3O.000 to S35, 900 per month. With this new mill and the increased capacity of the mills now in opera tion. the net profits of the mining industries of Piual will reach the magnificent snm Of S10000C0 per gnnnm.
